How does Design Theory deal with this?

Lawyers for the psychrolutid anti-defamation league will be contacting him shortly.

So rather than a new arm, lets say a larger set of family jewels. if Evolution was true, everyone would be mostly sex organ and very little else.

OK guys, my Poe Detector is going off big time after that “jewel”, pun intended.

And that fishermens lure is just a plastic version of the real thing.

My favorites are his representation of a living crab spider as identical to a spider crab fossil and his representation of a living featherduster worm as identical to a crinoid fossil. In the first case, the “no evolution” exemplars are merely in different classes, but in the latter, representatives not only of different phyla but of one of the earliest divergences in animals, between protostomes and deuterostomes. Is that a deal breaker?

No creationist I know gives the same examination of the fossil record as I do. I have seen some Muslim work done that might be sort of like my work in that they show hundreds of examples of living fossils showing evolution is not necessary.

I’ve seen it. IIRC its one of Adnan Oktar’s books - excellent presentation, but cant tell frogs from salamanders or damselflies from fishhooks.

My point is the rock layers you might have thought where proof of evolution are not.

No-one has ever even thought of thinking that rock layers are proof of evolution. You don’t know enough to argue against evolution.

I have pretty much concluded that @Evolution_is_a_Hoax is a hoax.

Wow. The degree of incomprehension of evolution required to be a creationist never ceases to astonish.

Oh sh*t, it’s the “Evolution Man” defense. I remember PZ Myers blogged about this.

If I recall, the fishhooks were mayflies. What’s the source (page number if you can) of the frog/salamander confusion?

To be fair, I have met some Creationists who fit that description.

Blowed if I know. I just remember that there was a picture of an amphibian fossil that was claimed in the caption to be identical to modern frogs, but was actually a fossil newt or salamander, and had a tail.

[John_Harshman]

Haven’t been able to find it, but while I was looking I found a beetle fossil claimed to be identical to a living stink bug.
